About bathroom resealing in EH7
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Where we work in EH7
Homes across EH7 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Bonnington, Greenside and Broughton. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. EH7 is part of the area we cover across Scotland. EH7 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Greenside: Homes close to St Cuthbert's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like London Street Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in EH7
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we’re called out for in EH7
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Your questions about bathroom resealing in EH7
Do you work in EH7?
We do. Our applicators work in EH7, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
